So I recently found out I was pregnant - I'm only 5 weeks gone but it was a huge shock and very unexpected (I've been told medically that it would be very hard to conceive and I was also taking the pill).
Basically, when I first found out, my partner and I were debating what to do - it's a huge decision and we haven't been together too long. Anyway, we both decided to go ahead with the pregnancy and for the first time in over a week I felt I could finally relax.
Fast forward to that night - we fooled around a little (as you do 😉) And about an hour later I went to the toilet and noticed I was spotting pink but only when I wiped. Not heavy at all.
The next morning - 6 hours later, went to the toilet and the same thing happened. A small amount of pink on the toilet roll.
An hour later - nothing on the toilet paper
30 minutes after that - there was a red clot (sorry for TMI!) and it looked different, But again I have no idea what different is anymore!
I have not bled at all since. My prwviuoua cramps have eased off but I'm still getting little twinges and some sickness and my boobs don't feel as sensitive. I feel normal just very disheartened and not sure if the changes are all just in my head. I know I found out so early and even the doctor said most people find out a lot later and they could have a chemical pregnancy without even knowing it at my stage.
I went to the midwife who told me to relax and it can be common - but I've tried searching everywhere and nowhere says about not bleeding, no pain or other symptoms for a miscarriage yet it doesn't say about someone who passed a clot and had a successful baby!
I'm going on Monday to get my HCG levels checked again and I'll find out on Tuesday if they've risen. The following Tuesday I'm booked in for my first scan.
Yesterday I did a pregnancy test and the lines looked the same. Today I did another one and the line appeared right away and went very dark - which got me rather giddy! I'm still aware this could be HCG still in my body though if I did miscarry.
It's been amazing being able to plan and get excited about my little, unexpected miracle baby but now I just feel completely deflated and need some positivity to keep me going right now.
I also know Google is the enemy a bit while pregnant but I've searched everywhere and can't find someone who's had happen to them what's happened to me!
Thanks in advance 😊
